Not happy about this

The unlimited reading is a scam. I have an hour left on my 7 day card and it’s deducting coins for every chapter.

Don’t bother

You have to buy each ‘chapter’ (which are basically no longer than 2 pages of a regular book) with ‘coins’ so it works out as over $200 to read a book depending on the number of chapters

Stop Charging to Read Book

Why are we as customers paying to read books. There should be way more free coins available. Very cheap Book app!!!

Easy read

Good stories but wish the coin amount was different

Poor service

I made coin Purchases back to back n for both the transactions coins were not credited instantly which is rare for any other app I used on iOS previously. Yesterday again I purchased coins using a coupon for 50% more coins and again the app doesn’t update the payment received and just doesn’t load. The coins do not reflect even after refreshing and re-login. The Care team takes more that 12 hrs to acknowledge the complaint and more than 24hrs for problem to solve. I’m done! I hope this time they’ll credit me with the proper amount of coins.
I’ve also noticed that each chapter charges certain no. Of coins depending on the Bo. Of „pages“ in that chapter. But most of the chapters will have one or 2 pages less of story content. Mostly the last page will be for their comments which really isn’t a story page for me. Very Disappointed!

JoyLit

I wish it wasn’t so expensive to refill and that the chapters were longer instead of having so many. I really like majority of the books but end up giving up due to the cost.

Arnaque

J’ai pris un abonnement à 20 balles pour le mois avec 3500 pièces de suite et 720 pièces pour le pointage quotidien. Ils vous font croire que les 720 pièces sont par jour pour le pointage quotidien, sauf que non. Les 720 sont pour le mois complet, c’est à dire que vous avez que 24 points par jour, qui ne valent rien car un chapitre en vaux 2 voire 3 fois plus. Vous prenez un abonnement mais vous n’avez même pas de lecture illimitée, c’est hyper cher. Je ne recommande pas du tout et je resterai sur mes applis moins chères et avec une vraie lecture illimitée. Notez bien aussi qu’il y a beaucoup de fautes dans les histoires, c’est vraiment mal traduit. Si vous voulez faire payer cher, au moins faites quelque chose de qualitatif. C’est honteux. Un signalement a été fait ainsi qu’une demande de remboursement à Apple. C’est de la publicité mensongère, j’ai pas envie de jeter 20 balles par la fenêtre pour rien.

Overpriced

Stories are good but you have to unlock ‘chapters’ (which are basically no longer than 2 pages of a regular book) with ‘coins’ so it works out as over $75 to read a book depending on the number of chapters

Déçu

Le fait de devoir télécharger un jeu pour obtenir des pièces est déjà nul, mais ça ne donne même pas assez pour avoir plusieurs chapitres.

Sans compter le nombre de pièces nécessaires pour débloquer un chapitre qui change à chaque chapitre.

Chez vos concurrents GALATEA, comme si on doit patienter 6h au moins on a des vrais chapitres, sans parler de la traduction qui n’est même pas correctement faite.

Je n’ai pas payé chez eux, je ne payerai pas chez vous non plus.

Je ne lis qu’un livre chez vous et je pense honnêtement que c’est le premier et le dernier.

Enjoyable Reading

Captivating stories. I highly recommend

To expensive

The ap doesn’t have a fee until you start reading then they charge you after a few chapters in, the fees fir additional chapters keep growing.

Too expensive

I thought the book was free. It’s not. Costs sooo much just to finish one book. Total ripoff. Feels like a grift or scam. At least let there be ads or pay for a book option. The total you pay for coins is more than you would in a book store

Beaucoup trop cher

Abusé les tarifs! On parle de livre virtuel et il faut payer 10€ pour débloquer 10 chapitres, une vraie arnaque donc pour lire 168 chapitres il faudrait mettre 200€?!

Impossible to read with out major financial outlay

Way to expensive, but an ebook instead

Abzocke

So eine Abzocke! Die Bücher bestehen aus sehr vielen Kapiteln, und für jedes Kapitel werden jede Menge Münzen benötigt. Münzen kann man kaum erwerben, sodass man praktisch gezwungen wird, sie zu kaufen. Am Ende kostet ein einziges Buch dadurch extrem viel Geld. Meiner Meinung nach ist das nur auf maximale Gewinnabsicht ausgelegt.

Complete rip off

This app charges the equivalent price of a hard cover book for an ebook. And they do it without first telling you what the total cost will be. Don't waste your money.

Too hard to get free coins

This app has some incredible stories on it but unlocking chapters uses coins and getting coins without spending heaps of money is really hard. There is an option daily to watch an ad for coins but u can only do this once per day and only unlock 15 coins when the average chapter requires 100 coins. If joylit offered more free coins a day so u can unlock and read at least one chapter (preferably multiple) a day, or even copy ReelShort as an example and let users watch an ad to unlock new content, this app would be five stars but with the difficulty to unlock new chapters for free this app is only pushing 3 stars.

Coin system is RIDICULOUS

The coin system is an absolute scam for US users - can the devs explain why when I’m at home, a subscription costs me $10, $20, $30, or $50 USD a month, but when I’m working overseas and subscribe, it can be anywhere from $2 USD a month to $50 USD a YEAR depending on the country I’m in?

Why are USA subscribers getting so shafted for a COIN-BASED rather than unlimited reading subscription? This is definitely NOT a value- or budget-conscious app, and half the stories are either badly translated or can be found elsewhere under other authors and titles.

I keep getting “new member” trial promotions when I switch countries, which is nice, but it’s definitely shown me how USA residents are getting taken.

Good stories, but not that good

Great app if you like wasting money. There’s too many alternatives with good stories where you can just watch an add to unlock a chapter. Even if there weren’t alternatives, still wouldn’t use or recommend. Can’t afford to spend $300 just to finish a story.

Bets app

Love the app and the books and one of my favorite things about the app is the unlimited $1.99 full day of free reading definitely recommend this book app to all u book lovers out there JoyLit is a for real reals #1 book app to have
